Walrus - Basic Moves 01

  • Share
  • Walrus is Michiel Claus, a Brussels-based DJ, promoter and producer. He's been playing and organising parties since the '00s, and has more recently helped to bring acts like Slow Life, Francesco Del Garda and Nicolas Lutz to Davy and Pjay's Futurepast night at Fuse, Belgium's top nightclub. Basic Moves 01 is the first release on his latest project, Basic Moves. He delivers two house cuts grounded in the cosmic textures currently favoured by the international DJs he brings to Brussels. Instead of the broken, skipping percussion you'll find on many of the records those acts play, Claus goes straight down the line on "Full Of Feeling." A lean deep house track with an elusive vocal, a light bell-style synth riff and a shifting hi-hat pattern, it's simple and smooth. That easygoing simplicity puts all the attention on the ethereal vocal snippet and graceful melody—the tune's main drawcards. Thanks to bolder drums and bursts of acid, "Among The Thugs" packs a more immediate punch. Both tracks run for five minutes, but they could have been twice as long.
